I'm not sure I'd want to hand over anything to the RAFM, personal or otherwise. It seems to have become yet another manifestation of New Think that infests so many of our institutions today. Burning books, including logbooks, should be done in far off countries of which we know little, rather than here. Of course attitudes constantly change, but that is the whole point, it smacks of hubris to think that our attitudes trump any others that will follow. Interesting that the clear out happened in the sixties. That was when we bulldozed a lot of Victoriana, replacing it with modern tower blocks instead. That worked out well, didn't it?
